Me and my wife got married in November 2010, six months later she was pregnant with our first child. Just a few days after we found out through a home pregnancy test my wife experienced some bleeding, so naturally we both freaked out and immideatley went to the closest emergency room.. not going to name names but I will say its on Poplar Ave in Collierville, TN.

We got there and they did bloodwork and a ultrasound and the doctors said that she was pregnant but not anymore, and prescribed her with some sort of abortion medication to "help with miscarriages".. please keep in mind my wife was probably less than a week late at this time but tested positive with the best home pregnancy tests at the time. We were devestated, my wife was crying all night and so was I, it was the worst feeling ever in my life, but something told both of us she should not take that pill. We talked to her mother and she agreed and said she would take my wife to a better hospital, a hospital Elvis Presley supposedly died at, first thing in the morning.

I was at work when my wife called me with the news, the specialists at the hospital agreed she was pregnant and everything seemed normal and just to watch for anymore bleeding. They took pretty good care of her the rest of the 9 months though there were a few complications and ultimately my now 6 year old son would be diagnosed with autism, still unable to speak or use a potty (mostly out of FUD) I am very happy we decided against her taking the advice of the monster at the first "ER". We love our son with all our hearts and would never want to lose him although we almost have on multiple occasions due to his extreme cleverness at escape and curiosity leading him to danger.
